Vanessa atalanta update - UK (& Commas)

[Andrew Daw]

My observations agree with all the mails on this subject so far.
Re: Commas (polygonia c-album)
  At the weekend (3rd/4th July)I saw several fresh (2nd gen. Commas near Oxford
and
in the Malverns). Also saw one worn specimen.
 
Other:
I saw no Black Hairstreaks (Satyrium pruni). They do appear to be very sparse
this year.
But I did see a Purple Emperor (Apatura iris) which made up for it.
